He finished three over for the day for a six-over 286 for the second round of the FedEx playoffs.
His FedEx ranking dropped to 56th, 26 spots from moving on to the championship at East Lake in Atlanta. Nevertheless, Henley is ranked ahead of Jason Day, Matt Kuchar, Tiger Woods, Louis Oosthuizen, Charles Howell III, and Phil Mickelson, among others.
Henley had three bogeys and a double bogey countered by only two birdies. Still, he was only 10 shots from the top.
